• Martifer Solar has completed an 11 MW utility-scale PV plant in Ginasservis, France for Eco Delta, the project’s developer and operator
• The project was built within only 10 weeks, which attests to the reliability and swift construction times of one of France’s leading EPC contractors
• The PV plant will produce sufficient clean energy to power more than 7,400 inhabitants and avoid the annual emission of approximately 1,345 tons of CO2 emissions per year
Martifer Solar, a subsidiary of Martifer SGPS, has completed an 11 MW solar PV plant in the South of France for Eco Delta, an independent developer and operator of wind and solar farms. The project is located in Ginasservis, which is in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of France.
The 11 MW project was built within only 10 weeks, which signifies the quick time-to-power capabilities of Martifer Solar. The company was responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and will also manage the subsequent operation and maintenance (O&M) service for the PV plant.
Henrique Rodrigues, CEO of Martifer Solar, said, “The completion of this PV plant is a key indication of Martifer Solar’s success and leadership in mature markets, such as France. As the market is moving towards a post-FiT era, we are prepared to advance our business model in order to drive down the LCoE and to match the evolution towards increased national tender processes and self-consumption projects.”
Martifer Solar completed the PV plant on an area of approximately 200,000 m2, using 42,592 modules installed on fixed structures. The 11 MW plant is expected to produce an estimated 17 GWh/year. With this production capacity, the plant will offset 1,345 tons of carbon dioxide on an annual basis, which is sufficient energy to power more than 7,400 inhabitants in the South of France per year. In addition to the significant environmental benefits that the project provides to Ginasservis, it also provided more than 150 jobs throughout the course of construction.
